What You Should Know

You'd find this in the plant-based/ready-meals section during a quick grocery run or reach for it on a busy weeknight when you want a hot, ready-to-eat dinner. It feels wholesome and comforting — a pantry-friendly, plant-forward chili that reads like a homemade shortcut. The ingredient list is mostly whole legumes, vegetables and spices with a few processed components (tomato paste, potato starch, citric acid/calcium chloride) that give a stable texture and shelf-life, hinting at a processed ready-meal rather than a freshly cooked stew.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

The product is a packaged, ready-to-eat meal made mostly from whole/minimally processed ingredients but contains processed components (starches, tomato paste, powdered ingredients and minor additives) and is formulated for shelf/stability, consistent with NOVA group 3 (processed foods) rather than highly industrial ultraprocessed formulations.
